Why am I mindful? It is because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During this month, there is anawareness about the disease, its prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. Several years ago, out of the clear blue sky, after getting a routine mammogram I embarked upon a journey that I never imagined that I would ever have to experience.
On average, 1 in 8 women in the US will develop breast cancer. It is the second most common cancer affecting women behind skin cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and local Girl Scouts have been doing their part to increase awareness in the community while learning about the importance of the subject at the same time.
